Brief Description:  Setting up the toe brakes

I have moved the pedals forward 55mm or 120mm from the firewall to the green bearing material. As a result I also had to find the new postion to locate the pistons for the toe brakes so that the toe brakes do not move wildly with rudder deflection. To do this I mounted the hinges to the rudder pedals and the toe brakes with clecos. Tomorrow night I will mark all these postions and drill the new holes to locate the whole show. The existing pre-drilled #40 holes in the fuselage floor will just be filled with some solid rivets. I am hoping that anyone who files my plane will be able to just use an extra cushion to ensure that they can reach the pedals if required.
